These are all proven blades, that have been used in the past by pros. Well, probably not the Neottec. However, Neottec Voodo Classic is basically a replica of (or I should say similar to) Butterfly Korbel, which at one time had been used by many pro players. It is now still being used by few...

I know a lady who can spin the ball quite heavy and I was surprised as she is using thick balsa blade with double inverted rubbers. I know her friends (in her group) play with balsa blades but they are all using pips at least on the BH. I asked her why she is using balsa blade as I think she...

A kid would say: "I promise that I will not be naughty anymore,......... ......................................................................... If one day I am naughty again then I will promise again" :ROFLMAO:

Ah, you are correct. The second layer is spruce. Thank you for the correction. However, I need to check again for the top layer (out of curiosity). If I remember correctly, it is not limba but something else. Because the grain is quite different and the surface is very smooth.

OMG.... !!!!! What is WCQ's set-up (blade + rubbers)??? I must avoid using the same blade plus rubbers.... !!!! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

It is actually more appropriate to compare BTY Innerforce Layer ALC (limba outerply, 6.0 mm thickness) to Viscaria. They are not the same, but at least closer in speed. BTY Innerforce Layer ALC.S is thin (5.5 mm??) with Spruce as outerlayer. It is flexible and feels like allwood. Speed is...

The old Samsonov Alpha (with grey handle) has unique construction like mentioned above (as informed by ttgearlab). So is Tibhar Lebesson (with bigger head size and thinner blade). But the new Samsonov Alpha (blue handle and the SGS version) do not have the same ply arrangement like that...

@MOG: All those EJing..... and finally you choose the same blade used by @UpSideDownCarl!!! You should have just listened to the man... :ROFLMAO:

If I remember correctly, from reading various posts, Azalea offensive is designed for female players, so the handle is slim. If the composition is limba-spruce-ayous-spruce-limba and thickness is 5.8mm, then I think it is better to just buy Donic Waldner Dicon. It has nice handle (the ST...

I agree with you. I have 84 grams, 90 grams and 95 grams Clipper Wood. For me, 95 grams is too stiff (I sold the blade immediately) and coming from 5-ply allwood I used to love 84 grams Clipper. Until one day, I try the 90 grams Clipper and whoooaaa, it has the best feeling and best...

I agree with the comments above: of course with limited playing time a player wants to maximize it by playing with higher level players. But let's say you can play 3 times at one time, why not spend one of those by playing with lower level players / beginners? So if everybody is doing this...

These are things that I observe in few TT clubs that I used to be a member of: 1. Beginners (or low level players) come to a club, and no one wants to play with them. I usually approach them to knock around until he/she feels comfortable and play a game or two. The problem is, and I have...

Is HL5 really that good? Is W968 worth the extra $$$$? I have the feeling that the cost to make one HL5 or W968 is probably only USD 100 at most (I can be wrong on this). But since the Great Ma Long is using it, so they think they can charge hundreds dollar more and people will still buy...

I am just curious, is Nittaku Fastarc G-1 the same generation rubbers compared to Rakza 7? Or is it newer generation? People keep comparing these 2 rubbers but if I remember correctly, Rakza 7 had been around for years, before Fastarc G-1 was introduced.

@Matt Hetherington, I have owned and used only 3 Joola blades in my life time: Joola K5, Joola Viva and Joola Rossi Emotion, and I think that they are excellent blades, considering the performance vs. price ratio. Watching your video, I have a question: Between Tezza Warrior (inner KLc) and...

Based on one night only? I have seen few forum members here that wrote that they have found the holy grail and then had change of heart within few months (even within few weeks). I am guilty as well. Let me tell you my experience. Play my best games for months using one set-up (I definitely...

@turbozed, thank you for your extra effort to research XIOM Solo. I remember that the reason I bought Solo long time ago is that it is designed to be "Korbel" like, which is good for any shots but not excel in anything. If I remember correctly, the graphs printed on the face of the blade...

I initially agree with the suggestion of retaining the blade and put pimple rubber on BH side, because it is easier to use a blade that he is familiar with. However, I used to have a Butterfly J-Pen 1-ply Hinoki (quite thick) and gave it away to my friend. He used it for his traditional...

I have played at various places where I don't bother to call any illegal serves at all. Why? Even the players use any illegal pips known to man, sometimes treated with chemicals to create most evil effects on the ball. I don't care anymore. Sometimes, it's even a joy to beat them and made...
